Preheat oven to 350˚. Line 9x13 pan with foil. (Foil should extend over edges by at least 1 inch.) Lightly Spray with non-stick spray and set aside.


Chop both unsweetened chocolate and 2 sticks of butter into chunks and place together in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.


With an electric mixer or stand mixer beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla for 2 minutes. While egg mixture is beating, measure out flour to combine with baking Powder. While mixer is running slowly add melted chocolate and beat to combine. Turn beater speed to low and add in flour by spoonfuls. Mix just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until knife comes out clean.


Cool completely on metal rack. When cooled to room temperature, prepare frosting. Combine all frosting ingredients starting with 1 1/2 Tbs of milk and beat until light and fluffy. Add more milk by tsp as needed. Spread frosting evenly over brownies and then place brownies in fridge to chill.


While brownies chill prepare chocolate glaze. Place chocolate chips and butter in microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes and then carefully spread on top of the frosting layer. Return pan to fridge to cool. When chocolate has hardened, use edges of foil to remove entire brownie from pan. Cut and serve.
